< Genesis 40 >

1 It happened after these things that the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.
Mmerɛ tiawa bi akyiri no, ɛbaa sɛ Misraimhene Farao nsãhyɛfoɔ panin ne ne burodotofoɔ panin fom no.
2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.
Farao bo fuu ne nsãhyɛfoɔ panin no ne ne burodotofoɔ panin no yie.
3 So he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison, the place where Joseph was confined.
Enti, ɔde wɔn too afiase wɔ ɔwɛmfoɔ panin Potifar no fie, baabi korɔ no ara a wɔde Yosef kɔtoeɛ hɔ.
4 The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he attended them. They stayed in prison for some time.
Ɔwɛmfoɔ panin Potifar de wɔn hyɛɛ Yosef nsa sɛ, ɔnhwɛ na ɔnyɛ deɛ ɛhia wɔn nyinaa mma wɔn. Wɔdaa afiase hɔ kyɛɛ kakraa no,
5 And the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in jail, both had a dream the same night, and each dream had its own meaning.
nnipa baanu no nyinaa a na wɔyɛ ɔhene Farao burodotofoɔ panin ne nsãhyɛfoɔ panin a na wɔgu afiase hɔ no sosoo daeɛ anadwo korɔ no ara. Na saa daeɛ mmienu no mu biara wɔ ne nkyerɛaseɛ.
6 Joseph met them in the morning and looked at them and saw that they were sad.
Adeɛ kyeeɛ a Yosef baa nneduafoɔ baanu no nkyɛn no, ɔhunuu sɛ wɔn nyinaa ayeyɛ mosomosoo.
7 He asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, saying, "Why do you look so sad today?"
Enti, ɔbisaa Farao fie mpanimfoɔ nneduafoɔ a na wɔne no gu afiase hɔ no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na ɛnnɛ deɛ, mo werɛ aho mo ho sɛɛ?”
8 They said to him, "We both had dreams, but there is no one who can interpret it." Joseph said to them, "Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me."
Nneduafoɔ no buaa Yosef sɛ, “Anadwo yi, yɛn baanu nyinaa sosoo daeɛ, nanso yɛnnya obiara wɔ ha nkyerɛ yɛn aseɛ.” Yosef nso ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Ɛwom sɛ Onyankopɔn na ɔkyerɛ daeɛ ase deɛ, nanso monka mo daeɛ a mososoeɛ no nkyerɛ me.”
9 The chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream, look, a vine was in front of me,
Enti, Farao nsãhyɛfoɔ panin no dii ɛkan kaa ne daeɛ a ɔsoeɛ no kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Me daeɛ mu no, mehunuu bobe dua.
10 and in the vine were three branches. When it budded, its blossoms opened, and its clusters ripened into grapes.
Na saa bobe dua no apan mman mmiɛnsa. Ɛguu nhyerɛnne, hyehyɛeɛ, nyiniiɛ, yɛɛ siaka bereeɛ.
11 Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I placed the cup into Pharaoh's hand."
Na mekura ɔhene Farao nsã kuruwa. Metetee bobe aba no, kyikyi guu ɔhene Farao nsã kuruwa no mu, de maa no sɛ ɔnnom.”
12 Then Joseph said to him, "This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.
Yosef ka kyerɛɛ nsãhyɛfoɔ panin deduani no sɛ, “Wo daeɛ no ase nie: mman mmiɛnsa a wohunuiɛ no kyerɛ nnansa.
13 Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office. You will put Pharaoh's cup into his hand as you used to when you were his cupbearer.
Nnansa ntam no, Farao bɛyi wo, ama woakɔdi wo dibea sɛ ɔhene nsãhyɛfoɔ panin. Na wode Farao kuruwa bɛhyɛ ne nsa sɛdeɛ na woyɛ no kane no.
14 But remember me when it goes well for you, and please do me the kindness to mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison.
Na sɛ ɛsi wo yie a, kae me. Mesrɛ wo, ɛyɛ a, ka me ho asɛm kyerɛ ɔhene Farao, na ɔmma wɔmmɛyi me mfiri afiase ha.
15 For indeed, I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing that they should have put me into the pit."
Ɛfiri sɛ, nokorɛ ni, manyɛ bɔne biara na wɔkyeree me firii me manfoɔ Hebrifoɔ asase so de mebaa ha. Na ɛha nso mpo a meda yi, manyɛ afɔdisɛm biara a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔgyina so de me to afiase.”
16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, "I also appeared in my dream, and look, three baskets of white bread were on my head.
Ɛberɛ a burodotofoɔ panin deduani no hunuu sɛ Yosef akyerɛ nsãhyɛfoɔ panin no daeɛ no ase, ama atɔ asom no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Yosef sɛ, “Me nso, mesoo daeɛ bi. Me daeɛ no mu, na mesoso nkɛntɛn mmiɛnsa a burodo gugu mu.
17 In the top basket there was all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head."
Kɛntɛn a ɛsi ɛsoro pɛɛ no, na nnuane ahodoɔ a wɔato a mede rekɔma Farao gu mu a na nnomaa sisi aduane no so wɔ mʼatifi, redi.”
18 Joseph answered, "This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days.
Yosef ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo daeɛ a wosoeɛ no asekyerɛ ni. Nkɛntɛn mmiɛnsa no gyina hɔ ma nnansa.
19 Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you, and impale you on a pole, and the birds will eat your flesh off you."
Nnansa ntam no, Farao bɛma wɔabɛyi wo afiri afiase ha, atwa wo ti, de wo kuntunsini no akɔsɛn dua so, ama nnomaa asosɔ wo ɛnam.”
20 And it happened on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he gave a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
Ne nnansa so no, na Farao redi nʼawoda. Enti, ɔtoo ɛpono kɛseɛ bi maa ne mpanimfoɔ ne ne fiefoɔ nyinaa. Ɔsoma ma wɔkɔyii ne burodotofoɔ panin ne ne nsãhyɛfoɔ panin nneduafoɔ no firii afiase hɔ baa nʼanim.
21 He restored the chief cupbearer to his position again, and he placed the cup into Pharaoh's hand;
Ɔhene Farao sane de ne nsãhyɛfoɔ panin no sii ne siberɛ, ma ɔhyɛɛ ɔhene Farao nsã.
22 but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
Nanso, ne burodotofoɔ panin no deɛ, Farao ma wɔkɔsɛn no sɛdeɛ Yosef kyerɛɛ ne daeɛ no ase kyerɛɛ no no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
23 But the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
Nsãhyɛfoɔ panin no nso werɛ firii Yosef a wankae no koraa.
